Description
Rare 1979 Klipsch Cornwall. Near Mint condition. Plywood Birch cabinets. Own them 35 years. Matched Pair - consecutive serial numbers. Extraordinary model. One of the best speakers ever made. Gorgeous original Klipsch Cornwall speakers from my vintage audio collection, own them 35 years. Built in 1979, consecutive serial numbers 20T222 & 20T223 engraved on cabinets. They have Klipsch original optional 2” oak risers at the bottom. Also I include 5 Rolling Stands on wheels. Cornwall look very cool on wheels, and they are extremely handy to move around for optimal placement. Speakers have been stored in my Audio room and rarely play. They have always been out of the sun, covered with furniture covers, smoke-free, pets-free. They are very special. Made in 1979, before Klipsch started cost saving. Drivers are much better quality and plywood cabinets (not veneered MDF board as later). In fact, cabinets are real furniture grade 9-ply Birch plywood. Experience the magnificent presence, power, detail and emotion of live music at home like never before. Breathtaking sound, total sonic domination. Deliver huge, holographic, fast, rock-solid image with excellent impact, dynamics and low coloration. Birch cabinets are beautiful. Gorgeous plywood, full of characters, they create great visual impression, especially on nice 5 high Rolling Stands. The wood finish is gorgeous unlike any finish you can purchase new today. It has a deep warm patina that only comes from the passing of time. Near Mint condition. Gorgeous plywood cabinets. Fancy Birch with a lot of characters, movements. No crashed corners, marks, scratches, dings, water rings, that are common to vintage speakers. One of top has small area of imperfectness, if look closely. Few years ago speakers were professionally refreshed with classic oil finish for protection. Finish is beautiful and cabinets are very smooth on touch. All drivers are original, in perfect shape, and play great, even, and flawlessly. Speakers have no issues. Superior audio quality. Speaker terminals function as they should. I added small brass pieces to terminals (see close-up pictures), to accept modern thick speaker wire, very handy. Many people consider original Cornwall as one of the best sounding speakers ever built. These vintage 1979 Cornwall are a true gem for any audio enthusiast. They produce an incredible sound quality that will transport you to another era. Dont miss out on the opportunity to own a piece of audio history. Pickup and Shipping Local pickup is much preferred.
